Cidco pulls down il­le­gal build­ing at San­pada

SAN­PADA: Cidco un­der­took de­mo­li­tion ac­tion against a build­ing in San­pada area on Tues­day.

Ahilyabai Bhoir had con­structed the build­ing in sec­tor 5 through a 50-50 part­ner­ship with a de­vel­oper. Cidco termed the four-storey build­ing il­le­gal and de­mol­ished it claim­ing it is on Cidco land.

Ear­lier on April 3, 2012, an­other build­ing had been con­structed il­le­gally on the same sur­vey num­ber 66. At the time too, de­mo­li­tion ac­tion had been car­ried out here by Cidco of­fi­cial Anil Patil.

The PAP ac­tion com­mit­tee and lo­cal vil­lagers had then op­posed the ac­tion. The PAP ac­tion com­mit­tee had raised the is­sues of city sur­vey, vil­lage lim­its, need based houses etc. Hence, this time round, Cidco and po­lice of­fi­cials came pre­pared for any op­po­si­tion.

Cidco se­nior pub­lic re­la­tions of­fi­cer Mo­han Ni­nawe said, “Bhoir had con­structed an il­le­gal build­ing here ear­lier. No­tice had then been is­sued and the build­ing was de­mol­ished. An­other il­le­gal build­ing came up at the same spot. So, Cidco had on June 24, 2015 is­sued a le­gal no­tice against it.”

He added, “The de­mo­li­tion ac­tion was taken on Wed­nes­day as per the or­ders of the high court.”
